About the Care 'n Share Toy Drive

From its humble beginning of 150 stuffed animals collected in a wooden toy bin at the 2009 San Diego County Fair, the Care 'n Share Toy Drive has to date distributed over 55,000 new and gently used stuffed animals to help put smiles on the faces of sick & needy children in the region.

2017 was our most successful year ever! Please help us help more children in 2018! Thank you!!

Community Partners Area

How Sweet it is to Share!Come see us at the County Fair in the Community Partners area located inside the Arena Gate. We'll share with you how your donation will positively impact the lives of many others, and we'll have craft projects you can do while you are there.

Exit Gates

​Our collection boxes will be at three exit gates - the Main (O'Brien) Gate, West Gate and Arena Gate. Please help us fill the boxes to overflowing every night, and brighten the lives of others not lucky enough to go to the Fair. Thanks! You rock!
